Quickstart

# This will start with an in memory database.

$ docker run -p 3567:3567 -d registry.supertokens.io/supertokens/supertokens-postgresql

Configuration

You can use your own config.yaml file as a shared volume or pass the key-values as environment variables.

If you do both, only the shared config.yaml file will be considered.

docker run \
	-p 3567:3567 \
	-e POSTGRESQL_CONNECTION_URI="postgresql://username:password@host:port/dbName" \
	-d registry.supertokens.io/supertokens/supertokens-postgresql

# OR

docker run \
	-p 3567:3567 \
	-e POSTGRESQL_USER="postgresqlUser" \
	-e POSTGRESQL_HOST="192.168.1.2" \
	-e POSTGRESQL_PORT="5432" \
	-e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD="password" \
	-d registry.supertokens.io/supertokens/supertokens-postgresql

Using custom config file

• In your config.yaml file, please make sure you store the following key / values:
  • core_config_version: 0
  • host: "0.0.0.0"
  • postgresql_config_version: 0
  • info_log_path: null (to log in docker logs)
  • error_log_path: null (to log in docker logs)
• The path for the config.yaml file in the container is /usr/lib/supertokens/config.yaml

docker run \
	-p 3567:3567 \
	-v /path/to/config.yaml:/usr/lib/supertokens/config.yaml \
	-d registry.supertokens.io/supertokens/supertokens-postgresql

Logging

• By default, all the logs will be available via the docker logs <container-name> command.
• You can setup logging to a shared volume by:
  • Setting the info_log_path and error_log_path variables in your config.yaml file (or passing the values asn env variables).
  • Mounting the shared volume for the logging directory.

docker run \
	-p 3567:3567 \
	-v /path/to/logsFolder:/home/logsFolder \
	-e INFO_LOG_PATH="/home/logsFolder/info.log" \
	-e ERROR_LOG_PATH="/home/logsFolder/error.log" \
	-e POSTGRESQL_USER="postgresqlUser" \
	-e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD="password" \
	-d registry.supertokens.io/supertokens/supertokens-postgresql

Database setup

• Before you start this container, make sure to initialize your database.
• You do not need to ensure that the Postgresql database has started before this container is started. During bootup, SuperTokens will wait for ~1 hour for a Postgresql instance to be available.
• If POSTGRESQL_USER, POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD, POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD_FILE and POSTGRESQL_CONNECTION_URI are not provided, then SuperTokens will use an in memory database.
